Cotec is an educational program developed by Secondary Education Technology teachers that arises from a previous pilot project created in collaboration with Valnalón Ciudad Tecnológica and aimed at stimulating the spirit of innovation in students.
It offers an open and non-profit platform where it compiles more than 400 specialization degrees linked to innovation. The website is designed to help those interested in innovation who want to pursue a postgraduate degree to find their best option, both in universities and business schools throughout Spain. Searches can be made by subject area, modality (face-to-face, online or hybrid) and type of training, which facilitates the inclusion of students with SEN (Special Educational Needs).
The methodology used is Project Based Learning (PBL), which uses digital tools with the aim of creating innovative business projects in the classroom.
Companies of 4 to 6 students are formed, who detect needs to be covered or problems to be solved in their environment, generating new ideas to address them. While teachers act as guides and facilitators of knowledge.
As it is an open, non-profit platform that compiles more than 400 specialization degrees linked to innovation, it becomes an opportunity for VET teachers to obtain a file that includes the title of the postgraduate course, the entity, a brief description, the modality, the type of training and the price (if available).
